Christ's Baptism and Ours

At his baptism, Christ identified with us in our brokenness and shame, 

and turned us to God.In our baptism, we are identified with him 

in his death and resurrection.

The Incarnation is Our Atonement

The Incarnation, when God became man,

is the atonement—the at·one·ment. For in Christ, 

God has become one with all humankind.

The Cross and Resurrection

flow inevitably from that.

Christ's Incarnation and Our Life

The Incarnation means that 

Christ did not die on the cross simply instead of us 

but that he died as us. His death was our death 

so that his life is now our life.
